A pre-war apartment in the heart of Vlaardingen
This apartment on Mr. Troelstrastraat sits in the lively centre of Vlaardingen, a town with a rich history along the Nieuwe Maas. This listing did not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €250,000, the asking price was 29% below the neighbourhood average of €351,382, though the floor area of 64 m² was also 36% smaller than the typical 100 m². Compared to other apartments in Vlaardingen, this is a relatively affordable entry point. This home has not been online since 14 October 2026.
Centrum: a busy, urban neighbourhood
Centrum is the dense core of Vlaardingen, with a very strong urban character (address density of 3,925 per km²). The population is diverse: many single-person households (1,785) and a mix of ages, with a notable share of 25- to 45-year-olds. One resident describes it as "It's good but could be better!" and notes: "Suffering from the waste and drug users in the area. I am a reasonably large-built man so I certainly don't feel unsafe, but many neighbours certainly do, and I miss the trees and nature that used to be there." This single review gives the neighbourhood a 6.75 out of 10. For more context, see the municipality of Vlaardingen.

It's a lively, central location with shops and amenities nearby.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 6.1 km away from the home. That means you would need a bus, bike, or car to reach it. The neighbourhood is well served by local amenities, but for longer-distance rail travel, you'll need to factor in extra travel time.

How did the price compare to other homes in the area?
The asking price of €250,000 was below the neighbourhood average of €351,382 and the median of €317,500. However, the home is also smaller than average (64 m² vs 100 m²). The price per m² was about €3,906, which was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,793 per m², so you pay a bit more per square metre.
